2019 SWM SM 500R arrives
“The new SWM SM 500R is the direct result of customer demand,” said SWM Australia’s Stephen Tuff. “We expect a strong retail reaction to this model.”
With fresh new graphics, the 2019 SM 500R adds the same sleek indicators fitted to the SWM RS enduro models, offering a refined look to complement the new front headlight and surround, as well as the new seat. That seat now offers more padding for increased comfort on day-to-day riding.
Standard features on the SM 500R for 2019 include a 501cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with Mikuni EFI induction, GET ignition and standard electric starting. A wet multi-plate clutch and 6-speed gearbox are also standard.
Kayaba suspension features at both ends, with 250mm of travel on the 48mm USD front fork and 290mm travel on the rear monoshock.
Seventeen-inch spoked wheels at both ends are shod with Michelin tyres as standard, while the braking made up of a 320mm front disc and 240mm rear disc. Measurements include a 7.2-litre fuel tank, 133kg weight and 295mm ground clearance. The 920mm seat height will be a challenge for smaller riders, though.
“The SWM SM 500R is LAMS approved and can definitely be called upon as a reliable commuter. However, there’s 50 shades of fun to this machine and they can all be found in your application of riding,” said Tuff.
Priced from $9,990 (incl. GST) and backed by a 12-month parts and labour warranty, the MY19 SWM SM 500R is now in stock at your SWM motorcycle dealer. See your SWM dealer for more details, or go to: swmmotorcycles.com.au
